I'll believe it when I see it 8) Running time is 1 hour 36 mins still though, so no longer print

On ADVDG, Linn1 (Linn?) said this:

No cheek involved. The plan is to release all the Lee films in double disc sets with the new transfers, and then release a boxset sometime next year with some more bells and whistles. Considering I know they've been looking for the extra footage from this film, this may be a very good sign

When "all the films" are mentioned I presume that means WAY will get released as well? Game of Death 1 and 2 already have good editions, IMO.

Is GoD2 any good? Is it basically what GoD should've been?

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 26 Jan 2006, 19:43

Nope. But GoD2 is a good film with great action sequences, especially the middle part of the finale where Bobby Lo fights against a monk played by Lee Hoi-san.

there's a tower (underground) involved but that's about the only connection with bruce's vision. but hey it features roy horan vs lion, hwang-jang-lee , and some great fights. and it's absolutely bonkers.so it's all good 8)

I think the HKL DVD is one of their best single disc releases in terms of special features. On Bey Logan's commentary track, he is joined by Roy Horan and together they have a really amusing conversation. Roy Horan's interview on the disc is also very interesting and funny. The deleted scenes on the disc are also worth having and they are extras I have watched more than once.

The picture quality was good, too.

GOD2 isnt a Bruce Lee film, not even sure why anyone speaks about it

I will but all these re releases in the end I guess

on the cheap.

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 26 Jan 2006, 20:06

Its' not really a Bruce Lee film, but its' still good fun!

roy horan is a legend

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 26 Jan 2006, 21:02

i'm hoping against hope that hkl reinstate some footage at least,ie bruce's return to the knocking shop, the bloodier version of james tien's head injury, bodies in ice etc. who knows,we may get lucky.

Which year?

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 28 Jan 2006, 20:42

I "may" bother but only when it's cheap. The last 20 minutes make up for it but it's dull otherwise.

I'd prefer a second re-release of WOTD TBH that needs the remaster treatment much more, it's a mess.

No cheek involved. The plan is to release all the Lee films in double disc sets with the new transfers, and then release a boxset sometime next year with some more bells and whistles.

If this is true and I see zero evidence to backup Linn's statement I hope it contains the sixth exclusive bonus disc from the current box set.

I believe it it makes no sense not to release it.

It does mean WOTD with his uber pants transfer will stick out like a sore thumb though.

grim_tales wrote:Running time is 1 hour 36 mins still though, so no longer print

It's already uncut so that would be hard.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 28 Jan 2006, 21:25

The Cantonese version is uncut (96 mins) the Mandarin version is about 15 minutes longer.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 28 Jan 2006, 22:32

Didn't Bey say that version is long since gone?

Besides if you're talking about Taiwanese Mandarin cuts then virtually every HK film is cut. I think of those are extended cut instead of the normal versions as being cut.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 29 Jan 2006, 08:53

I can't remember, the Mandarin print (Mainland, not Taiwan) is in the hands of a few collectors, including Fred Wientraub.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 15 Feb 2006, 20:07

I wonder what the specs of the release will be?
Actually HKL's DVD is "cut" even more than the Cantonese version, its missing a few secs of footage here and there due to print damage.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 15 Feb 2006, 20:36

It's shorter than the FS print?

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 15 Feb 2006, 20:54

The original HKL is yes (I think?) but I'm not sure.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 16 Feb 2006, 01:13

Yes, the HKL DVD is missing shots due to print damage.

Killer Meteor · Post by **Killer Meteor** » 16 Feb 2006, 11:26

The Media Asia print is missing the footage - HKL wern't pulling a Celestial on us

slasher13 · Post by **slasher13** » 16 Feb 2006, 11:43

So i wonder what bits are missing then? Any one know?

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 16 Feb 2006, 12:44

The only Bruce Lee film I've seen is Enter the Dragon, thought was great.

I'll wait for the inevitable new boxset that houses all the new PE's w/ FS prints.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 16 Feb 2006, 13:58

Fist of Fury is even better Eva then comes Enter the Dragon IMO.

What's cut then and it's definitely in the FS print?
